All,

I got the trunk trim out. The shock didn't come through, but it will make the noise when I wiggle it from the top.

The question I have is when I put the new shocks on I saw one video that said to raise the suspension to ride height and another said:

Assemble new or old shock bump stops and protective cover onto new shock in order shown. Install shock in vehicle, install lower portion of shock first with fasteners finger tight. Then jack on swing arm to raise shock back into trunk. Then install washer with nut and tighten. Then tighten lower shock fastener. Reinstall trunk trim carpet and test drive vehicle.


My question is how far up do I jack the control arm before I tighten it down? Until the shock clears the bottom of the wheel well?

Thanks
